Re: Upcoming Shows

Fuck yeah, heavy tour day! I think my best friend is flying back to Nicaragua on the 4th out of LA, so really I have no reason not to be down there that day. And I may even be picking up my parents from the airport. Double gold!

Re: Upcoming Shows

This show is going to sell out in 1 second hahaha. The place fits like 100 people at most! They have the best taco truck in the back Speaking of Union Pool, my friend's band "Eidetic Seeing" will be playing there tomorrow night if anyone is interested...

The first date on Japanese guitarist Junzo Suzuki's upcoming North American tour. A mix of psychedelia, drone, and blues not to be missed, with Scott Verrastro and Chris Grier's Thee Ultimate Vag featuring Don Fleming (Velvet Monkeys/B.A.L.L./Gumball) and Gibby Haynes and spacey locals Rhyton & Eidetic Seeing.

Hey guys... so my band is coming to LA in the middle of December! I know it is a busy time of the year, but if some of you LA folks have the time, I would love to see you guys at one of our shows. We were hoping for this to be a full West Coast US Tour, but that didn't work out. We want to make these LA shows worth it though!

If any of you write for any media sources whatsoever, I will get you into any of these shows no problem! Also, if any of you have any suggestions for what media outlets I could contact (and realistically expect to come) in LA, let me know and we will reach out to them.

Hope to see some of you guys there!

Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, The Madison Square Garden Company and The Weinstein Company announced today that Bon Jovi, Dave Grohl and Eddie Vedder will be joining the esteemed lineup of artists of the "12-12-12" concert on December 12, 2012 at Madison Square Garden, with proceeds to benefit the Robin Hood Relief Fund. Tickets to this one-night-only special event will go on sale on Monday, December 3, 2012 at 12 p.m. (ET). The all-star lineup includes, Jon Bon Jovi who will now be performing with Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Alicia Keys, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Roger Waters, Kanye West and The Who, with other top artists to be announced. The concert will be presented by Chase.

Plans are still very much in flux, but the current plan is to stage the entire show in four-and-a-half hours. The Who, Kanye West, Roger Waters, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will all play roughly 45-minute sets. The other guests – including Alicia Keys and Jon Bon Jovi – will sit in with one or more of the main acts. "There are some slots we haven't announced yet," says Sykes. "Some artists have come in these past few days. We're still trying to put together the best combination to make it a show that people will never forget."

The Rolling Stones are playing in Newark the day after the concert. Might they stop by? "There's been talk of that," says Sykes. "The challenge is they have a full-blown dress rehearsal on the 12th or the 13th because their Pay Per View special is on the 15th. But, yeah, there have been conversations with them. Mick and Keith came out for the Concert for New York City 11 years ago and played on their own. They're well aware of the show and certainly have been invited to be part of it in any way, shape or form of the band."
